Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP)

VSP involves the measurement of variations in seismic compressional waves (P-waves) and shear waves (S-waves) velocities with depth. Seismic P-waves and S-waves are generated at the surface, which propagate through the subsurface and are recorded by a 3C geophone placed at various depths within a suitably prepared borehole. Data obtained is processed and interpreted for the generation of P- and S- wave seismic velocities; when correlated with soil density can be used to calculate dynamic elastic modulus values including Shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio.
